Coded references to New Testament Bible passages about Jesus Christ are inscribed on high-powered rifle sights provided to the United States military by a Michigan company, an ABC News investigation has found.

The sights are used by U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the training of Iraqi and Afghan soldiers. The maker of the sights, Trijicon, has a $660 million multi-year contract to provide up to 800,000 sights to the Marine Corps, and additional contracts to provide sights to the U.S. Army.

I guess the following article in Sunday’s Philadelphia Bulletin was very timely in light of this absurd report by ABC News. Does this Bulletin article describe this kind of s**t reported by ABC News or does it not? I mean it hits the nail right on the head. It is a must read!!!

“Has Religious Freedom Been Shut Out In US?”

Click on the link and read the rest of the article. The Bible references are put there intentionally. But, that’s not the point. The point is that these idiot reporters and godless libtards are freaking out over this, towing the KKK line of “separation of church and state.” (If you don’t know about the KKK’s relationship to the “separation of church and state” statement, I’ll give you a hint: The phrase is part of the swearing in ceremony for the KKK, and the Supreme Court Justice who put that phrase into the legal vernacular was a member of the KKK...)

Yes, TREASON! I have a deep and abiding hatred for the people who pretend to be journalists these days. And if it isn’t treason then the stupid should be moved to a position commensurate with their abilities.

Holy cow... that comment section. I thought I read the bottom of the IQ barrel when I visit HuPo or the DU... But that comment section... just wow. It’s like a huge collection of people who are too stupid to post over at 4Chan.

Someone should gather up their IP addresses and force them all to wear mittens and a neck cone. They are so bereft of intelligence that they may be dangers to themselves.

Coded references? Apparently, the author is too ignorant to recognize that these are direct Scriptural references not coded references.

One of the citations on the gun sights, 2COR4:6, is an apparent reference to Second Corinthians 4:6 of the New Testament, which reads: "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."

An apparent reference? If the author, who has access to a Bible, is too stupid to understand that these are direct references, how exactly does he think the enemy, without access to a Bible, is going to decipher these mysterious coded references?

"This is probably the best example of violation of the separation of church and state in this country," said Weinstein. "It's literally pushing fundamentalist Christianity at the point of a gun against the people that we're fighting. We're emboldening an enemy."

You know, I was just thinking along those lines yesterday when Our Glorious Dark Overlord was spewing his BS from the pulpit. Obviously, the actions of godless commies are governed by a different set of rules than you or I must follow...

One element of our mission in the Mideast is to convince the local populations that the United States supports their religious identity - hearts and minds. When AQ sees this kind of thing they can use it as a tool to convince the people we are trying to sway that in fact the US is waging a war on Islam and not on terrorists - after all, we've got a biblical passage printed right on our weapons. We are fighting people that will blow themselves and others to smithereens over a cartoon - what does a Bible verse on a rifle say? This is a perfect recruiting tool for AQ.

"This is probably the best example of violation of the separation of church and state in this country," said Weinstein. "It's literally pushing fundamentalist Christianity at the point of a gun against the people that we're fighting. We're emboldening an enemy."

This is the most twisted statement of "logic"? I've ever seen.

A >"This is probably the best example of violation of the separation of church and state in this country," a non existent tenent

B "It's literally pushing fundamentalist Christianity at the point of a gun" An address from the Bible, silent, on a piece of equipment, is not "pushing" anything.

C "against the people that we're fighting." We aren't trying to convert them, we are trying to kill them.

D "We're emboldening an enemy" Why would anything, other than rolling over and playing dead "embolden" anybody? Do these people know how idiotic they sound?

But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness.

Thunder and lightning just seemed a little more apropos. Smirky, though. And the makers seem to be serious Christians to go by the few other verses. If you must kill your fellow man, better to be reverent in your belieff.
